it's always a contradiction
be someone vs. be no one
be known vs. be anonymous
do something big vs. do w/e my life becomes
there are times i can see myself being happy with nothing
moving to the middle of nowhere
[preferably with someone]
having a normal job
living a normal life
getting joy out of being the best aunt ever
being no one special
and living a quiet life
[though some may say that that's not a life a nothing
and i guess it could bring a happiness of its own kind
but i can't fully see that happiness at this point
bc i can't see happiness in a normal life
bc people, well me and people tend to have a complicated relationship
so i don't remember happiness with people right now
(though i do remember that i've told myself before that it exists
bc i've felt it before- i know i wouldn't lie to myself about that
so it must have been)]
then there are times when i want the flashy life
cameras in my face
being known
being seen as someone
living the glamorous life
and people caring about me
but then, that's where i get tripped up
do i want the glamorous life bc that's what i want?
i won't lie the job sounds amazing
seems like fun
the least monotonous job i can think of
getting to meet cool and beautiful people
having fans who care about what i say
and wanting to meet me
though i do know that job does take a lot of effort
or do i just want people to care about me?
and listen to me
maybe that's all i really want
and maybe I can get that in an ordinary life
maybe i'd be happier with an ordinary life
maybe the ordinary life would prove to be more of what i wanted than the glamorous one
but if i'm left alone
left to nothing
then i think i'd need the glamorous life for myself
to at least say look i must at least have something
look at everything around me
look at how people see me
then again i do at times like the emotions of the glamorous life
there are times when i want to be able to help people, like people on tv and movies have helped me
to be that inspiration or guiding light
if only for 30-90 min
to take people away from their stresses for a while and tell them a story
let them into my pretend life for a while
and also for me to be able to be someone else
play someone
and get away from being me for a while
(it sounds beneficial from time to time
but would it really be as much of as an escape as i picture it
am i fantasizing it too much)
the things i want change with my every changing head
back and forth
and back again
everything contradicts
so there is seemingly no happy middle
so i wonder what would be more beneficial
and more practical for me
what would bring me more happiness
forever i will wonder
curious of where things will lead me
